2023/24 Abdoulaye Doucoure

Happy daaaaaays

Think weve been holding him back for this run of games to be honest mate Onana and Coleman too.

Aye I think you're right.

Our previous 2 managers were certainly caught out trying to get players back too quickly after injuries (DCL in particular), but Dyche seems to very much err on the side of caution.

Our game falling on a Monday will help, gives him a handful more training sessions to get his sharpness/match fitness back.

 

[Blue Willy]

Doucs and Onana starting? Rejoice.

 

[navidson]

Won't be Dyche fit for Monday

Even if they were 98% fit for the City game we made the right call
I would also say if he’s 98% fit for the Palace game he should start though because we need his attacking power going forward

The Duke!

eh??

Yup, I'd rather he started and came off after 70odd minutes rather than coming off the bench with 20 to go if his fitness was right.

We're so much more effective with him playing.

Having no Abdoulaye Doucouré in the team has been such a big hindrance for us, it's so good to see him back training. Hopefully, he can stay injury-free for the rest of the season

Douc is the highest rank of the British nobility and he’s been one for a while, it’s high time they made him a formal member of the royal family.

he plays we win facts

 

[Jokerdan]

The lad has another season in him. He has had his detractors but given the dearth of 'finishers' in our team he has proven to be indispensible.

 

[Blue Smoke]

He's definitely got another couple of seasons in him. His running/fitness is immense

he’s a machine

 

[Blue Smoke]

What dyche needs to do is start subbing players earlier. I think he (dacoure) charged around for full 90 after his first injury, leading to this current one?
I'd give him an hour to start, then up to 65 following game, then 70 etc.etc.

Every season he's out for a couple of months we need a rotation/backup, should sign a good number 10 in the summer
